Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Versatile DNA Hydrogel‐Mediated Delivery of Ginsenoside‐Encapsulated Small Extracellular Vesicles to Boost Diabetic Wound Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a DNA hydrogel‐mediated delivery system, in which ginsenoside (GS) molecules are incorporated into small extracellular vesicles (sEV) secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the formed complexes are then anchored in DNA hydrogels via aptamer‐CD63 affinity as “GS/sEV@DNAgels”, to improve diabetic wound repair.

In‐Operando FTIR Study to Investigate the Effect of Varying Lithium Salts on Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) Evolution in Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A clear correlation between electrolyte salt chemistry and Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) performance in lithium metal batteries is established using in operando FTIR spectroscopy. This study shows that LiTFSI instantaneously forms a robust, inorganic organic hybrid SEI (LiF, Li3N, Li2O, ROCO2Li, ROLi) that minimizes overpotential, while less ...
